Question / Help Failed to connect to server

[Icedout]

I'm trying to stream to twitch as I've been doing for the last month. No problems before. I get an error code saying "Failed to connect to server." I've already tried changing the stream key. I've also already tried messing with the binding IP settings. None have worked. I tried to stream from a different program other than OBS and it worked so it's not on my internet's end. Any help?

Same problem as well, can't seem to find a solution in any threads...

Happily willing to work with anyone and try and trace it if others have free time. Don't know where it's failing in it's connection.

23:02:12.039: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Binding to IPv6

This could well be your problem. Under advanced settings, check the "Bind to IP" dropdown. If it says "default", change it to your IPv4 address. If it has an IPv6 address selected, try "Default" first.

Also:

Could not resolve server 'live-dfw.twitch.tv': no valid address found

If you're certain your IP bindings are correct, there's probably a problem with your DNS.

I had this issue as well. I ran the Twitch Test http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tech-support/478845-twitchtest-twitch-bandwidth-tester and found the server I was broadcasting to in San Francisco was down. Switched to LA and it is now working fine. Hope this helps.

Been having same issues. It has done this before but I don't remember how to get it back to streaming again.

@Echo RTMP_Connect0, failed to bind socket: The requested address is not valid in its context. (10049) -> the server you wanted to connect was down -> try different server

Is you server connected to your closest server? If not, change it then it will work perfectly. I fixed the same way.

i ran the bandwidth test and got failed on ever server i tried to connect to..what gives?

The closest server is not always the best.
Recommending the closest server is bad advice.

Recommending the server in the twitchtest utility with the highest quality is good advice.

I'm having this problem too, was streaming just fine and now all of a sudden, I get this error.

I fired up my old XSplit Broadcaster - same stream key + server and it works just fine?

xsplit cheats and hides dropped frames from you.
